Multiple Positions in Human Neuroimaging -- UC Riverside

The University of California, Riverside,
invites applications for five positions in human neuroimaging at the Assistant
& Associate level. Successful candidates will become core faculty in the
newly established Human Neuroimaging Center that includes a new Prisma 3T
Siemens scanner. We seek applicants with a strong track record of research
publications and funding (or funding potential) in basic science and methods of
human neuroimaging with one position in each of the following areas: Human
Cognitive Neuroscience (speech/language, learning/memory, attention,
perceptual systems),Human
Developmental Neuroscience (cognitive development, emotion regulation,
lifespan, psychopathology), Human
Social Neuroscience (social cognition, affect, relationships, personality),
MR Physics/Engineering (MRI
sequences and reconstruction, DTI, SWI, hardware, MR spectroscopy), and Neuroimaging
Data Processing/Analysis (fMRI data processing and analysis, neuroimaging
data mining and imaging genetics, MRI computational neuroscience),

Applicants should be committed to
excellence in undergraduate and graduate education. UCR is a world-class
research university with an exceptionally diverse undergraduate student body.
Its mission is explicitly linked to providing routes to educational success for
underrepresented and first-generation college students. A commitment to this
mission is a preferred qualification. Salary will be commensurate with
education and experience. Review of completed applications begins January 4,
2016 and continues until a position is filled, with appointments beginning June
30, 2016.

Interested candidates should send a cover
letter describing research and teaching interest, their curriculum vitae,
reprints and preprints, and should arrange to have three letters of
recommendation provided. Application to senior rank positions must have a Ph.D
in a related field, and apply at this link: https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00480.
Applicants for junior ranked positions must have a Ph.D. by time of
appointment and should apply at this link: https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00483.
Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is
through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring every 2-3
years, each of which includes substantial peer input. Questions about the
position should be directed to Professor John Andersen, Chair, Human
Neuroimaging Search Committee, at john.andersen@ucr.edu.

The University of California at Riverside
(UCR) is embarking on a major new hiring initiative that will add 300 tenured
and tenure-track positions in 33 cross-disciplinary areas selected through a
peer-reviewed competition. Over the next three years, we will hire multiple
faculty members in each area and invest in research infrastructure to support
their work. This initiative will build critical mass in vital and emerging
fields of scholarship, foster truly cross-disciplinary work and further
diversify the faculty at one of America’s most diverse research universities.
We encourage applications from scholars committed to excellence and seeking to
help redefine the research university for the next generation. For information

Greg Hickok is Professor of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine, Editor-in-Chief of Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, and author of The Myth of Mirror Neurons. DavidPoeppel, after several years as Professor of Linguistics and Biology at the University of Maryland, College Park, is now Professor of Psychology at NYU. Hickok and Poeppel first crossed paths in 1991 at MIT in the McDonnell-Pew Center for Cognitive Neuroscience where Hickok was a post doc, and Poeppel a grad student. Meeting up again a few years later at a Cognitive Neuroscience Society Meeting in San Francisco, they began a collaboration aimed at developing an integrated model of the functional anatomy of language. Research in both the Hickok and Poeppel labs is supported by NIDCD.
